Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Just briefly, I don't want to reiterate what Mr. Woodworth said, as he's made most of the points that I intended to make, but as a new member of the committee and a new member of Parliament, I think it's only reasonable that we have time to consider this at greater length and have access to the report and the suggested legislation.
Again, given the very serious economic situation facing our nation and the fact that every party leader has said it has to be the priority of all parliamentarians, that's what Canadians are watching and that's what they want us to do.
I think Mr. Poilievre's amendment is very reasonable. We're not leaving it open-ended; we're just asking for an addition of an extra few months so that we can focus on other priorities and then move to this, because it is important.
Thank you.
